INTRODUCTION Online communities, social networking and user-generated content production are bringing new elements to the development of electronic government. These new features are based on a new logic of the Web, referred to as Web 2.0. When applied to the public sphere, this idea has been labeled as Government 2.0. This is a new trend that challenges governments to assess their role in soci...

Optimization and reduction of energy consumption and the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions are among the most urgent challenges of the twenty-first century. Such challenges call for significant research to be carried out in order to develop new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more energy efficient society, leading to a reduced carbon footprint. Information and...

An important change in the socio-economic environment of industrial firms is the increasing diffusion of Internet Technologies in production processes. Applications of Internet Technologies may be directly implemented on the shop floor, e.g. in networking dislocated assembly lines, as well as in assisting management processes, e.g. in production planning and control. This leads to a strong appr...

The speech production system is capable of conveying an abundance of information with regards to sentence text, speaker identity, prosodics, as well as emotion and speaker stress. In an effort to better understand the mechanism of human voice communication, researchers have attempted to determine reliable acoustic indicators of stress using such speech production features as fundamental frequen...

Over the past decade, C++ has become the most commonly used language for introducing object-oriented programming and other abstraction techniques into production software. During this period, C++ has evolved to meet the challenges of production systems. In this, C++ differs radically from languages that come primarily from academic or research environments, and from less widely used languages. ...

objective: research related to induce pluripotent stem (ips) cell generation has increased rapidly in recent years. six transcription factors, namely oct4, sox2, c-myc, klf4, nanog, and lin28 have been widely used for ips cell generation. as there is a lack of data on intra- and inter-networking among these six different transcription factors, the objective of this study is to analyze the intra...
